2024 Map of Poinsett State Park

About this map

Wateree Swamp and the meandering Wateree River define the western portion of this landscape, marking the boundary between Richland and Sumter counties. This low-lying riparian environment transitions into the upland forests of the High Hills of Santee, where the settlement of Wedgefield and the rail-linked Sumter Junction reside. The eastern half of the map reveals a complex land-use pattern, ranging from the protected wilderness of Congaree National Park to the modern military operations at the Poinsett Electronic Combat Range.
